Early-Stage, Domestic Impact Investing: A Compelling Market Opportunity for Impact and Financial Return
Undercapitalized: Early-stage companies' capital needs are often too large for "Friends and Family" but too small for traditional VC firms.
Underserved: Our network and mission alignment enable us to identify founders and source opportunities that other VCs often overlook—particularly in undercapitalized market segments and overlooked geographies, resulting in a highly diversified portfolio.
Underexplored: Our multi-thematic approach enables us to remain opportunistic and resilient amid shifting macro conditions, addressing emerging challenges with profitable solutions that are only now beginning to take shape.
